UK Court Admits F-35 Parts Fueling War Crimes, Says 'So What?'
The UK High Court, apparently, sees no contradiction in acknowledging F-35 parts might contribute to war crimes and then greenlighting their export. Al-Haq's appeal to overturn this ruling shines a harsh light on moral arithmetic where profit consistently outweighs principle. This isn't just about spare parts; it's about the conscious enabling of a military operation with a documented civilian
casualty toll that, in Gaza, has surpassed 37,000. We have a pattern here. The West's humanitarian concerns seem to conveniently evaporate when defense contracts are on the table. One might ask, how many 'exceptions' to international law can be carved out before the 'rules-based order' becomes a punchline? The arms industry doesn't distinguish between 'legitimate defense' and 'indiscriminate
bombing' as long as the checks clear.
